Hey Mocajava thanks , keeping her cool is a great question during summer I try not to be in heavy traffic anything over 40 degrees C she needs to be moving above 35mph to stop the temp needle from pegging out. looking to upgrade the cooling system to make it bomb proof. Maybe removing the transmission cooler lines out of the radiator to an external cooler will be a start.I think the radiator is large enough to cope the extra heat generated by the tranny maybe tipping it over in the Aussie summer. What do you think ??

Hi Mason66 The lawmakers have seen the light and we no longer have to butcher cars to use them Red is still as it left the factory left hand drive

That is good to hear. A lot of cars got modified (damaged) to comply with that law.

Trans cooler fitted I have a car show next weekend 800km ( 500 Miles ) round trip. Should be enough to test it out .

Where did you buy that from and how much, I may need to look at doing the same with Dodge being up in here Brisbane she gets pretty warm as you already know.

Cheers,

Hi Ben
Believe it or not Auto Barn $200 bucks plus a few more for fittings and some gal for brackets ect the unit looks the goods quality wise time will tell. Off to the Bright hot rod weekend in Victoria about 800 clicks round trip will see if the cooler makes the cooling system more efficient.
